Luke 24:34

Luke 24:34

32 And they said to one another, “Did not our heart burn within us while He talked with us on the road, and while He opened the Scriptures to us?”

33 So they rose up that very hour and returned to Jerusalem, and found the eleven and those who were with them gathered together,

34 saying, “The Lord is risen indeed, and ^ahas appeared to Simon!”

35 And they told about the things that had happened on the road, and how He was¹ known to them in the breaking of bread.

Jesus Appears to His Disciples

36 ^aNow as they said these things, Jesus Himself stood in the midst of them, and said to them, “Peace to you.”

37 But they were terrified and frightened, and supposed they had seen ^aa spirit.

38 And He said to them, “Why are you troubled? And why do doubts arise in your hearts?

39 Behold My hands and My feet, that it is I Myself. ^aHandle Me and see, for a ^bspirit does not have flesh and bones as you see I have.”

40 ¹When He had said this, He showed them His hands and His feet.

41 But while they still did not believe ^afor joy, and marveled, He said to them, ^b“Have you any food here?”

42 So they gave Him a piece of a broiled fish¹ and some honeycomb.

Barnes' Notes

<< Luke 24:33

Luke 24:35 >>

Saying - The eleven said this.

Hath appeared to Simon - To Peter. It is not known precisely when this happened, as the time and place are not mentioned. Paul has referred to it in I Corinthians 15:5, from which it appears that he appeared to "Cephas or Peter" before he did to any other of the apostles. This was a mark of special love and favor, and particularly, after Peter' s denial, it showed how ready he was to pardon, and how willing to impart comfort to those who are penitent, though their sins are great.
